Elen's involvement in Tigre's rescuing Alsace and contribution in Zion's death have became a prevalent news in both Zhcted and Brune. King Viktor was once planned to punish Elen for involving Brune's inner conflict without his permission, further claimed Elen's "contract" with Tigre was a disgrace to the Vanadises. However, through Sofy's advice, the old king reluctantly allowed Elen to work with Tigre, with the condition that every war both Tigre and Elen would fight are for Zhcted's priority. Still, of all Vanadises in Zhcted, Ludmila, Elen's longtime rival due to a feud between Leitmeritz and Olmutz, criticizing Elen's alliance with Tigre unrefined and brash; moreover, she also was an ally with Thenardier due to their Houses's 80 years long mutual friendship, which making the Ice Vanadis as Elen's foe.

Meanwhile, Tigre and Lim, who came back to Alsace after successfully convinced House Augre to join his retaliation against Thenardier and Ganelon, were invited to the Kikimora Mansion to meet Elen.

The initial battle resulted in a stalemate where both armies suffered 100 men casualties despite their fierce clashes, forcing both armies to retreat from the battlefield. Still, the result could only escalating the Vanadises rivalry even further as Mila and Olmutz Army immediately departed from Vlkolin Plains on the next day, prompting Elen to launch a full scale siege onto Mila' known stronghold the Tatra Fortress. This concludes a Tactical Victory for Olmutz Army since Ludmila's main purpose is to draw Elen out from Vikolin Plains.
